The point is Nintendo have said they're after the hardcore, they've compared themselvs to the competition and they've said they want/are going to be close or so that far from Orbis/Durango technically whilst also saying they don't compare themselves to other companies or care about "what kind of 'more beef' console Microsoft and Sony produce"etc. and that's why people are pointing out the somewhat contradictory or hypocritical comments made by Nintendo about the Wii U. |
Sorry bud, you're right that was unpleasant for no reason at all.
I have been an NIntendo for ages, I know when their just marketing. Thats why theyre statements are so stupid, mainly its because they want the expanded audience, nintendo core, and a share of the hardcore. Nintendo isn't stupid enough to actually target the hardcore, they still want the expanded audience all to themselves, thats why mario, wii fit, just dance, nintendoland are all launched within the WiiUs launch window. The hardcore fanbase NIntendo wants are the ones that don't care about the games made by Sony and Microsoft. Nintendo knows that fanbase is not loyal and they will go where the games go. Look at how the XBox stole so much of Sony's fanbase. That headstart, cheaper price, and 3rd party multiplats did the trick. Look at how NIntendo just did the Vita, Nintendo wants too set the WiiU up like the PS2 was to the PS1. By releasing first it allows the WiiU to be cheaper and build an fanbase before the PS4 and 720 release. Ofcourse NIntendo still has work to do like gather the other very important 3rd party games(GTAV).
